Help with ADD/ADHD when reading Anonymous 2017-02-26 04:54:17 Post No. 9158897 [Report]

I enjoy reading, I enjoy it a whole lot. I always read when I was a kid. I enjoyed going to the library and picking out novellas just to return them read a day or two later. I fell out of reading around middle school. I developed some form of ADD and it makes it near impossible for me to focus on a book for more than a few pages.

I went for years without reading for leisure. I decided to turn that around. I downloaded the Metro books, Roadside Picnic, and The First Law among others. These three books absolutely captivated me, I managed to finish The First Law in about a week and a half despite having school and work to contend with. I've tried reading House of Leaves and The Black Company but I struggle to force my brain to focus on the story.

My question is, what are some good ways to focus on reading? Alternatively, what are some books that are just so good my brain requires no effort to stay engaged?

You don't develop adhd. One of the criteria is having symptoms before age 7. You simply rotted your brain with video games and pornography

Non-existent condition invented in order to sell unnecessary medications. Any problems you have are entirely psychosomatic and you should try your best to get over them.

First of all, they don't exist, second of all, no, you don't just develop it while reading.
I know that it sounds like that old guy being a twat advice, but try reading it on paper, not on a screen. I have trouble focusing on ebooks on the like, but have no trouble with things on paper and don't know why.

Tolerance is a fundamental principle of the mind. If you keep reading, your stamina will increase.

Just be patient and be steadfast. Try and pick things out that you're intensely curious about.

that's because you're jumping from genre fiction to a bloated horror/experimental/post-modern/

Coffee + book memes for women will always trigger me.
